2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

Gasol getting that respect. I guess if you look at every advanced stat (which is pretty much determining how good players are now), he tests well in just about everything. I would say he's top 15, not top 10. But, it looks like he's getting a lot more respect from the media than I'm giving him .



This is why I really want to see how good he is without playing next to such a high usage player in ZBo. Give him a playmaker on the perimeter along with Conley and let the big man work his magic.

We saw the potential B.. Makes the Thabeet draft even worse and them deciding to keep Z-Bo over Gay

Bruh..you getting topped off in ya avy

an illusion

 

[antidope]

Is that really what's going on in that?? I thought so at first then I said nah no way can't be

 

[henz0]

Mike "Best iso scorer in the NBA" Conley isn't in the top 25?

Gasol better be top 3.

13: Paul George

Wow.

13: Paul George

Wow.

Granted, he has a long way to go offensively, but if he can continue what he started last year, and keep playing defense like he does, I think its deserved, no homer (I dont think)

Dwight Inspired By 'You Have To Endure' From 'The Dark Knight Rises' In Leaving Lakers
Oct 18, 2013 1:51 PM EDT


Dwight Howard attempted to develop a Superman persona early in his career with the Orlando Magic, but he drew from 'The Dark Knight Rises' in his decision to leave the Los Angeles Lakers to sign with the Houston Rockets.

"I actually wrote (them) down and can tell it to you — it's from Batman," Howard tells USA TODAY Sports. "Batman and Alfred were having a discussion, and Batman didn't like what was going on and he felt like the best thing he could do was just hide.

"Alfred told him, 'You have to endure it. You have to take it. People will hate you for it, but that's the point of being a legend. You can be that outcast. You can make the choice that no one else can make, and that's the right choice.' "

The Rockets were able to provide a situation for Howard with a core of players closer to him in age and also may be even closer to competing for a title.

"I kind of took that with me in this situation in L.A.," he continues. "It was hard, something that most people wouldn't have done, because they're looking at the whole situation and people are going to think that I'm running (from the pressure), and people are going to think this or that.

"But I'm like, 'Man, I want to be this legend, I want to be at the top. So I have to endure all that hate, all that criticism. I have to take it, and that's what's going to make me the person and the player I am.' "

Paul George ahead of Quake?


Nah..

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rose going from 0 to 60 in a second, no problem. I like what I see. Paul George looking like he's stepping into that main man role. Dude is eating to start the game and creating his own offense. Didn't think he had it in him to do all that but he looks very comfortable and natural. Good stuff...

dwight is an idiot. by that comparison wouldnt that have meant to stay with the lakers instead of being a coward and run off?

From what I've seen of him so far, Rose is going to be even better than he was before.
